I teach in an urban school with a diverse student population. Our school includes gifted, advanced, honors, traditional, and occupational educational programs. Our students are both hearing and deaf. It could be said that our school truly encompasses every denomination of every category out there.
It may be said that our students are so special because they are so diverse.
I am proud to be a graduate of our incredible school, which only makes we want to work harder. Our population is made up of students who come from a truly diverse background; some parents work for FedEx and St Jude, and others are working 2-3 jobs just trying to keep everything together.
In our school we have students who work after-school jobs and some who do not. Everything we do is about coming together as Spartans. That is something I am always proud of. It doesn't matter what the students are doing; they tend to come together well to support each other.
My Project
Many of my students do not have printers at home. Even though they are doing great work, some of them either have to pay the library or turn items in late, once they find a printer.
I want to remove all barriers to success, by having a printer available for printing their assignments for our class in the room.
I do not want students not doing or turning things in late, simply because they could not find access to a printer. Removing this road block will make success that much easier for so many of them and that way their grade is only indicative of learning, not access to technology.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
